Orange Pore Fungus [View all]

In (Aussie) winter I can't get out on the rocks at the beach and spend a lot of time in the bush with the dogs. Just this year I've seen a couple of instances of a beautiful little orange fungus that I hadn't seen before.

Well! Favolaschia calocera or the orange pore fungus is an invasive species that is displacing native fungi and apparently set to become a problem. Read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favolaschia_calocera

But you must admit, it's pretty and photogenic.
